Rating Criteria Detail

Criteria Risk Level Rationale

Corporate Weaponization

Criteria:

Has canceled customers, suppliers, or vendors due to their political views or religious beliefs OR corporately boycotts, divests, or sanctions regions, people groups, or industries.

Risk Level:

Lower

Rationale:

Axos Bank has not publicly canceled customers, suppliers, or vendors based on political views or religious beliefs (1). The bank shut down Alex Jones’ company’s bank account “without notice or warning”. However, Axos claims that this action was due to unauthorized transactions and that the company did not respond after Axos reached out. Therefore, it is not clear whether the bank’s actions had anything to do with Alex Jones’ viewpoints, but the bank did agree to reopen the account after 30 days (2).

Criteria:

Charitable giving (including employee matching programs) policies or practices discriminate against charitable organizations based on views or religious beliefs.

Risk Level:

N/A

Rationale:

Axos Bank does not publish charitable giving guidelines (1)(2).

Criteria:

Employment policies fail to protect against viewpoint or other discrimination and/or are ideological in nature.

Risk Level:

Medium

Rationale:

Axos Bank does not provide viewpoint protections for its employees (1)(2).
